Latex Bows Sometimes Work
I’ve always had a fondness for the imaginative, playful designs of New York Couture, but have never truly gone out of my way to lust after them because they aren’t really practical. I know that “couture” isn’t really practical, but let’s face it, when things are priced so reasonably they aren’t really couture, and how many people truly walk around in tutus, one-sided monokinis, and dresses that look like pandas?
I personally can’t think of one person I’ve actually seen walking around the city like that.
That being said, I still think there are some pieces Cassie K. makes for New York Couture that can actually translate into everyday life. Take this white tank top with a latex bow, for example. The latex bow and kiddie drawings add a bit of whimsy, but paired with something simple, i.e. not a headband with ruffles and hot pink lamé leggings, the shirt could be cute for work or play or even just lounging.
I’m not really trying to bash the design aesthetic of New York Couture, because every girl deep down wants to look like a scene Barbie, but I just can’t help thinking about practicality now-a-days. With work and school and what-not, I have to learn to balance my nutter inside with professional outside.
Dearest Chelsea,
I miss you and your wittiness.
Love,
Dara

Well $75 for that white top, dont you think this one is bit expensive ? But yeah this one is really looking cool and attractive.
They said … if you can afford than nothing is expensive and I think they are absolutely right about this.
Oddly enough, I think I’d totally wear a lot of the pieces I’ve seen from them (the slightly “subdued” ones, at least). Lol, I’m no Katy Perry, but I’d like to think I’d enjoy the shock value of it: give these conservative Southerners a jolt or two.

I know what you mean about practicality. There are a lot of things that I like, but I as I get older, I have to ask myself how/where I’ll wear them and if they fit in with my lifestyle.
